I know people are frustrated at the cost of this book but I just got my copy and I can see why it’s so expensive. The paper quality and especially the ink quality is superb! I compared it to my most recent Marvel Omni (Venom by Cate) and the Venom book is positively weedy by comparison. I know Marvel has been holding the line on price, but I think paper and especially ink quality at Marvel is being reduced to keep that price point. You get the story either way, but honestly I’d rather pay a bit extra and have a more premium book. (Plus it’s not like we are all paying retail for these things).

Have no clue on best way to sell comics, but wish I could easily trade my complete collection of 1st prints of this series for this omnibus. I stopped collecting individual issues and would much prefer just one single omni. Thanks for the overview!

I struggle with the Batman who laughs word balloons. The red on black really hurts my eyes. Just received my Miller/Janson Daredevil omni & Millers intro is black on red which is also hard on the eyes 🤣

I used to live in the same town as Scott Snyder in Belle Terre, Long Island before I moved last year, seen him many times getting coffee, food shopping etc, he was always friendly!!

Got this from Instocktrades. They had the wrong price for almost 24 hours! $62… steal!
